That sounds yummy. Think I'll bookmark this for a later date.

I like White Chicken Chili when it's cold out. Or regular chili (without the kidney beans).

I've always loved the name of your blog :)

I was leading a training session at work and I was going on and on about something and everyone was looking at me kind of strange. So I asked what was wrong. They were lost. I said, "Didn't I just say {blah blah blah}?" They said no. I said, "Well, I said it out loud in my head." I had forgotten about it until several months later when I was going to start a blog but didn't know what to call it and someone reminded I had said that. Besides.... there's a lot of noise in my head that I need to get out once in a while :)

I love this:

"I think it is about time we became uncomfortable and started loving the world around us so we Christ followers become known as lovers of people. Maybe then they would take God seriously."

It's all about relationship - our relationship with God, loving him and him loving us, then him loving others through us. We just need to get out of the way and let him.

It's so easy to get overwhelmed with all of the options... so much so that at times I end up not giving at all except to my local church. Good advice here though. Definitely going to be taking some of the advice.

Thanks for these tips! I'll definintely be checking out Charity Navigator and Guidestar.

I was at work. Sitting at my desk. The office got quiet. I got up to see what was up and no one was around. I walk to the other side of the building and many were huddled in a conference room watching the coverage. I got there just in time to see the second plane hit.

Someone asked me the other day what I'm passionate about. I didn't have an answer. I need to have an answer.

WOW! Those are amazing!

Brilliant!

Wow. Very creative. Who'dathunk?
